Gameplay

Pac-Man moves across an endless labyrinth, collecting dots and power-ups and avoiding enemy ghosts. The game ends if Pac-Man meet a ghost or falls behind or glitch at the bottom of the maze. After eating 256 dots the player blasts that clears all on-screen enemies.

Pac-Man can use lasers, tornadoes, and clones to attack the ghosts. Also, it collects score-multiplying fruit. Additional power-ups are unlocked when you collect enough dots.

Coins that can be obtained either on the maze or by viewing sponsored videos, which can be used to upgrade power-ups.

The game's main mode requires credits that can restore. Alternatively, the player can use Free Play. Credits can also be used to revive the player once per game.

Power-ups are unlocked over time and the player always can use the power-ups.

There are also themes which change the look of the game.

It's possible to play four-player co-operative play. In the co-operative play mode players first select their character such as a robot, the chicken from Crossy Road, the regular Pac-Man and others. The goal is for every player to get as much as possible and contribute to the group score as much as possible.
